Three Kingdoms lazy man

"Your Majesty, I think Cao Yu, the King of Yan, can take on this important task!" Standing among the officials at this time, a white-haired old man stood up from his seat. This person was none other than Cao Shi. Cao Hong, the only remaining old man in the clan and the Xiahou clan.

However, when Cao Hong was young, he offended Cao Pi because he was stingy with his own money, so that Cao Pi disliked Cao Hong very much. Even when he was just enthroned as the emperor of Wei, Cao Hong broke the law suddenly, and was finally killed by Cao Pi If it weren't for the request of the descendants of the Cao clan and hundreds of officials later, Cao Hong might have been punished to death by Cao Pi.

And Cao Yu, King of Yan, is the youngest son of Cao Cao. He has been a relatively talented person since he was ten, and he is just in his early twenties now.

"I think Chen Wang Cao Zhi is a good candidate!" At this time, a civil official stood up among the civil servants. This person Cui Zheng was from the Cui family in Hebei, and he was a member of the rich family. Looking at Cao Pi who was sitting on the dragon chair, he said to Cao Pi calmly.

"Ahem!" Cao Pi's complexion became a little heavy after hearing such words. Cao Pi can be said to be a cold-blooded emperor.He is very afraid of his brothers, so that Cao Yu has no right now. As for Cao Zhi, Cao Pi is very afraid of this former competitor.

"King Yan is a good candidate, he is upright and young!"

"Chen Wang is not bad. At the beginning, Emperor Wu loved Chen Wang very much, and Chen Wang is very talented and literary!"

"Hehe! Your suggestions are all unreasonable." Bai Ren looked at the people elected by the civil and military officials who belonged to Cao Pi, and none of these younger brothers mentioned Pingyuan King Cao Rui at all. Bai Ren watched the discussions among the civil and military officials. Bai Ren believed that if he didn't stand up again, Cao Rui might not be able to get involved in the battle for the reserve.

When all the civil and military officials heard such a voice, they stopped arguing, and looked at Bai Ren in the distance with a calm expression, and saw a peaceful smile on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth.

Chapter 921 Prince Wei

When everyone heard Bai Ren's voice, they all looked at Bai Ren who was standing aside with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

"Bai Zifu, you are an outsider, what ability do you have to intervene in the important affairs of Li Chu?" Cao Hong Ever since Bai Ren joined Cao Ying, the two have not confronted each other and hated each other. Now the two have hated each other for more than 30 years. When Bai Ren came out, Cao Hong said to Bai Ren with a dirty face.

"General Cao, this statement is wrong! Establishing a crown prince is a major national event, which is related to the rise and fall of the country. Now that I am the current Taiwei, how can I not care about this matter?" Bai Ren looked at him and retorted to himself. Cao Hong, a trace of displeasure appeared on the corner of Bai Ren's mouth, and he retorted to Cao Hong in front of him with a somewhat cold tone.

After listening to Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong blew on his white beard with his own mouth, and looked at Bai Ren with cold eyes, wishing to fight this guy.

"Taiwei, I don't know who you think is suitable to be the crown prince of our Great Wei Kingdom?" Cao Pi sat on his dragon chair, watching the two of them not confronting each other, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then his tone Some calmly asked Bai Ren in front of him.

"I think King Pingyuan is a good candidate." Bai Ren looked at Cao Pi's gaze, stroked his beard lightly, and said his suggestion to Cao Pi calmly.

After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Pi froze in place with a heavy expression on his face. After all, Cao Pi knew that Bai Ren and Cao Rui had a close relationship, so he didn't expect that Bai Ren would directly recommend Cao Rui.

"Hehe! Bai Zifu, the king of Yan and the king of Chen are brothers of His Majesty today, and the blood relationship among them is the closest. How can it be the turn of the king of Pingyuan?" Cao Hong immediately showed a cold smile after hearing Bai Ren's words, and then his eyes were a little bit Looking at Bai Ren coldly, he replied to Bai Ren with a somewhat cold tone.

After hearing such words, Cao Pi sat silently in his seat, began to think, and then looked at Bai Ren who was below. Seeing that Bai Ren was still standing there calmly, Cao Pi hesitated a little. With a soft tone, he looked at Bai Ren

"Taiwei, can you tell me the reason why you did this?" Cao Pi was also sitting on the dragon chair calmly at this time, and asked softly to Bai Ren underneath.

"Cao Rui is the eldest grandson of Emperor Wu. According to the original inheritance, King Pingyuan is the best candidate for heir. Besides, King Pingyuan is His Majesty's younger generation. Shouldn't the inheritance be passed on from the elder to the younger?" Bai Ren said at this time. With an indifferent smile, he said to Cao Pi in a gentle tone.

"It's a fallacy! It's the so-called elder brother's brotherhood is the most basic inheritance." After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Hong suddenly changed his color, laughed a little arrogantly, and then said to Cao Pi and Bai Ren in a heavy tone.

At this moment, a guard walked in cautiously from outside the palace, and said to Cao Pi who was sitting on the dragon chair with a nervous tone: "Your Majesty, the Eastern Wu urgent report from the left general Cao Xiu !"

"Could it be that Soochow sent troops suddenly? Read it to me quickly." Cao Pi looked at the guard who broke in suddenly, his expression became a little nervous, and he said to the guard in front of him with a heavy tone.

The guard looked at Cao Pi who was sitting on the dragon chair, and then said to Cao Pi cautiously: "Now the last general has discovered Sun Quan, the king of Dongwu, and now he has established himself as emperor, calling himself the emperor of Dongwu, and chasing his posthumous posthumous title. Father Sun Jian is Emperor Wulie of Eastern Wu, mother Wu is Empress Wulie, and elder brother Sun Ce is King Changsha Heng."

"What! This Sun Quan has become emperor." Cao Pi suddenly became a little surprised when he heard the news, and said to his subordinates, civil and military, in an unbelievable tone.

The civil and military subordinates looked at each other in surprise when they heard such a thing, and then we started talking.

When Bai Ren heard the news, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he said to Cao Pi excitedly, "Your Majesty, it will be a matter of time before Sun Quan proclaims himself emperor, but this Jiangdong land basically belongs to Sun Quan." Brother Sun Ce was defeated, but Sun Ce gave up his seat to Sun Quan, and in the end only left the title of Changsha Hengwang, please think again, Your Majesty!"

Bai Ren was about to start thanking Sun Quan at this time. It was just the right time for Sun Quan to proclaim himself emperor, and posthumous posthumous title of his elder brother Sun Ce as Changsha Hengwang was simply the best argument for himself in electing Cao Rui as the heir apparent.

After hearing Bai Ren's words, Cao Pi's face immediately became a little dignified. After all, now that Sun Quan did such a thing, Cao Pi had to be a little more careful. After all, the relationship between Cao Pi and his brothers was very rigid. If it is passed on to them, then maybe the throne will become the throne after his death!

"What the Taiwei said is very true. Since the Great Qin Dynasty, the position of the emperor has never been seen. Brothers end up with younger brothers. Even the great Han is selected from the emperor's descendants, such as the Great Han Emperor Xuan and so on!" And At this time, Wang Lang, who is now Bai Ren's political ally, also stood up from his seat, looked at Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei who was sitting on the dragon chair and was thinking, and said to Cao Pi in a calm tone.

After Cao Pi heard this, he looked at Sima Yi, the left servant, and asked Sima Yi calmly, "Sima Zhongda, what do you think?"

Sima Yi silently raised his head, looked at Cao Pi with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and then thought that both he and Wang Lang belonged to the camp of the aristocratic family, and the Cao family represented by Cao Hong belonged to the opposite camp, so he silently confronted Cao Pi. Seeing Cao Pi nodded, he said to Cao Pi in a moderate tone: "I think what Situ said is very true. Now that His Majesty sets up a crown prince, he should choose a virtuous person from among the younger generations to succeed him! And King Pingyuan is a good one. the candidate!"

Hearing this, Cao Pi saw that the vast majority of people agreed with this method, so a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly to the civil and military officials in front of him: "If that's the case, choose one On the auspicious day of the zodiac, canonize King Pingyuan as the heir apparent of our Great Wei!"

"Your Majesty is wise!" Bai Ren looked at Cao Pi saying this, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Then he followed all the civil and military officials, saluted Cao Pi respectfully, and replied calmly.

Fifteen days later, Pingyuan Wang Cao Rui came to the court hall with a calm expression. At this time, he was wearing a gorgeous prince's costume, and he came slowly to the court hall with a calm expression under the watchful eyes of all civil and military officials. above the hall.

At this time, Bai Ren had a faint smile on his lips, and looked at Cao Rui with a calm look in his eyes, and suddenly thought of Cao Ang who had passed away.

Zixiu, since I will protect your child and let him live a good life, let him replace you as the king of Wei.

Bai Ren looked at Cao Rui who was slowly walking to the front, looked at his thin back, and suddenly seemed to see Cao Ang's shadow, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes.

Cao Pi looked at Cao Rui, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a calm and proud face, and slowly stood up from his dragon chair with the support of the eunuch.

"King Pingyuan, now I canonize you as the crown prince of my great Wei. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations!" Cao Pi looked at Cao Rui in front of him, and suddenly thought of his brother Cao Ang who loves him. Said somewhat heavily to Cao Rui who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Cao Rui heard Cao Pi's choked up words, raised his head silently, looked at Cao Pi's expectant eyes, and replied with a heavy tone.

"The prince will accept the seal!" At this time, Cao Pi changed color, and calmly handed the hard seat in his hand to the eunuch next to him, and asked the eunuch to hand it over to Cao Rui, who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. The eunuch took the seal carefully, and slowly When he came to Cao Rui, he handed it over like Cao Rui.

Cao Rui accepted the prince's seal with a nervous expression, slowly stood up from the ground, and then silently turned his gaze to the civil and military ministers.

At this time, the minister of civil and military affairs saw the crown prince Cao Rui holding the seal in his hand, and immediately saluted Cao Rui who was standing in the hall with a somewhat respectful expression.

"I'm waiting to see the prince!" Everyone said respectfully to Cao Rui with serious expressions on their faces.

Great Wei now also has a crown prince. With the efforts of Bai Ren and others, the crown prince of Great Wei has been established. It is Bai Ren's adopted son Cao Rui.

Chapter 922 The Arrival of a New Era

Year after year passed, and under the arrangement of his father Bai Ren, Bai Ji officially settled down with Wang Lang's grandson Queen Yuan Ji.

Bai Ren saw that his children were already married and established businesses, and his complexion became a little emotional. It has been more than 30 years since he came to this world, and now he is close to 50 years old, and he doesn't know how long he will live .

After the new year, a major event came from the state of Wei. Cao Pi, the emperor of Wei, who was in the palace, was now dying of illness, and he was anxious to have his civil and military ministers come to his bedroom.

As the Taiwei of the current dynasty, Bai Ren also received the eunuch's order, so he rushed to Cao Pi's palace in a hurry.

In Cao Pi's palace, Cao Pi was lying on the bed with a pale complexion, and the incense burner next to his bed was still emitting smoke for a while. At this time, Cao Pi's bedroom looked very depressing.

In front of Cao Pi's bed, Cao Rui, the current prince of Wei, stood beside Cao Pi's bed with a heavy expression, looking at Cao Pi who was lying on the sick bed.

At this time, there were not many civil and military officials. They were far away from dealing with Cao Xiu from Eastern Wu and Cao Zhen from Western Shu. Standing on one side were two civil servants, one was Bai Ren's old acquaintance Sima Yi, and the other was Chen Qun, who recommended the Nine Rank Zhongzheng System.

Bai Ren came to the palace slowly, then stood silently beside Yi Chen Qun, and then cautiously looked at Cao Pi who was pulled down on the hospital bed, taking a breath.

Cao Pi was lying on the sick bed at this time, his face was completely bloodless. Hearing the sound, Cao Pi silently opened his eyes. Seeing that his anxious civil and martial arts had arrived, he immediately sat down with the support of Cao Rui. up.

"You are all here!" Cao Pi spoke weakly at this time, looked at the six confidant ministers in front of him, and said to them in a low tone.

"Your Majesty!" All the ministers looked at Cao Pi's pale and bloodless face, hurriedly and cautiously saluted Cao Pi respectfully, and said to Cao Pi in a low voice.

"Now my body can't hold it anymore, and I'm calling all my dear friends here to discuss my funeral." Cao Pi looked at his civil and military ministers with soft eyes at this time, and finally coughed softly After a few times, he said in a weak tone.
